Change SETTINGS type from STRING to TEXT
johannesschobel opened this issue · comments
Currently, the SETTINGSfield in the database (or rather within the migration file) is declared as STRING. This, however, only allows for storing max. 255 chars (at least for MySQL databases). Keep in mind, that the settings are stored as JSON object (i.e., one need additional chars for braces, commas, ...).
It would be good to change the type of the settings field in the migration file to TEXT to store at least 65k chars!
Additional Information:
| Type | Maximum length |
|---|---|
| TINYTEXT | 255 (2^8−1) bytes |
| TEXT | 65,535 (2^16−1) bytes = 64 KiB |
| MEDIUMTEXT | 16,777,215 (2^24−1) bytes = 16 MiB |
| LONGTEXT | 4,294,967,295 (2^32−1) bytes = 4 GiB |
However, the "maximum length" may differ, depending on the actual encoding of the database!

Issue is resolved.. Thanks a lot!
Merged #14 to fix this.
